Meet Swapna Peter, MSN, RN, CCRN, a seasoned nurse passionate about emergency care and dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes. With an impressive 25-year nursing career, including a decade in the fast-paced environment of the emergency department at the University of California Davis Medical Center, Peter has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious ENA Foundation’s 2024 Emergency Nursing Diverse Voices Research Fellowship.

Driven by her commitment to advancing emergency nursing practice, Peter will use this grant to delve into the measurement of compassionate care provided by emergency nurses and explore interventions to combat compassion fatigue.

Swapna Peter is proudly honored by Daily Nurse as the Nurse of the Week in recognition of her focus on compassionate care and valuable contributions to emergency nursing.

Amy Boren, ENA Foundation Chairperson, expressed, “Swapna’s passion for emergency nursing and dedication to improving patient outcomes perfectly align with the values of the ENDVR program, focusing on diversity and inclusivity within the field.

As part of the fellowship, Peter will attend Emergency Nursing 2024 in Las Vegas, engaging in research activities while benefiting from mentorship opportunities with esteemed Emergency Nursing Research Advisory Council members. She will develop and execute a research project locally, participate in advisory council meetings, and present her findings at Emergency Nursing 2025. The fellowship may be extended to two years to support her research endeavors.

The ENDVR Fellowship program was launched in 2022 to promote diversity in nursing research and provide guidance to emerging researchers from underrepresented groups. Chris Dellinger, the President of ENA, emphasized the importance of diverse perspectives in research. He stressed the need for nurses’ and patients’ voices to be heard and considered to improve emergency care.
